R&J Insulation, Inc. RetroFoam™
Welcome, RetroFoam is the best insulation for Existing Homes! Are you aware of all the types of insulation? Whether you are in search for wall insulation, attic insulation, house insulation, spray foam insulation, we have the best product for existing homes.
RetroFoam™ is a tri-polymer resin that produces a nontoxic, nonflammable and odor-free insulation material. RetroFoam can be injected into the wall cavity of your home or office. Optimal for replacing your old insulation or insulating your existing building, RetroFoam offers numerous benefits as well as a simple and quick installation process.
Lowers energy and re-insulation costs!
With energy costs always on the rise, RetroFoam will pay for itself by saving you money on your utility bills. RetroFoam keeps your home warmer or cooler longer - no need to keep running the heater or A/C. And since it's not necessary to tear out walls or remove old insulation, RetroFoam costs less to install than any other re-insulation material.
Continues to save money over time
RetroFoam will not settle over time, change shape, or breakdown. Your RetroFoam insulation stays in place, particularly at the top of walls where it is most needed. And RetroFoam is not affected by moisture. If the foam gets damp, it always dries and remains 100% effective.
Therefore, the high R-values and insulation effectiveness achieved by RetroFoam continue over time.
Increases your comfort in all weather
RetroFoam's R-value (R-value measures insulation effectiveness) reaches a remarkable R-4.6 per inch in winter and R-4.1 per inch in summer. This is the highest annual R-value of any re-insulation option on the market today.
RetroFoam provides homes with 2x4 studs R-values of R-16.0 and R-14.9 for winter and summer, respectively. R-values for homes with 2x6 studs reach R-23.7.
RetroFoam also eliminates drafts by sealing plugs, switches, cracks, and anywhere else air can enter or leave your home.
Decreases noise: a sound solution
Although RetroFoam is used primarily to save energy, our customers often comment about how quiet their homes become once RetroFoam is installed. RetroFoam reduces noise levels by 75%, a 45-50 db reduction on average. Apartment and condominium residents find RetroFoam a great solution for noisy walls.
Has No Order
Unlike other foam products, RetroFoam has no odor.
Resists pests
RetroFoam is also an effective pest barrier. Because it seals cracks and crevices in walls and cement blocks, it helps keep critters outside.
Does not disrupt your life when installed
RetroFoam installation is an easy process in most types of buildings, typically completed in less than a day. Our installers inject RetroFoam into the wall cavity, so there's no need to tear out walls. Since RetroFoam is installed from the outside in most cases, you do not need to move furniture or clean up the inside of your home.
Slows the spread of fire
RetroFoam is a nonflammable product. RetroFoam adds safety and value to your home because fires burn more slowly through RetroFoam-filled walls.
